Hi there,
I have an investment property in Brisbane and Ive discovered that the Body Corporate's building insurance policy (AMP) doesn't cover floods. The BCC's flood report shows that the whole unit complex is in an overflow path (although not near a river /creek) so there is some risk of flood damage. I also have Terri Sheer landlord insurance as well, but this does not cover flood. I would prefer to stick to Terri Sheer if possible as from what I can gather they are one of the best landlord insurance companies. The BC building policy is valid until mid-2011 which is also roughly when the next AGM takes place.
My understanding is that probably the best thing for me to do is get some sort of interim cover for the flood component until the next AGM whereby I can put forward a motion for flood cover to be added to the exisiting building policy.
I dont want to fork out for a full building or landlords insurance policy that covers flood and overinsures me - unless I have to. I would prefer some sort of cheaper interim cover (if such a thing exists) for the flood component only.
Any advice?
Cheers and thanks in advance.
